Asset management in local government Report supplement: Condition, suitability and property cost
Prepared for the Accounts Commission May 2009 The Accounts Commission
The Accounts Commission is a statutory, independent body which, through the audit process, assists local authorities in Scotland to achieve the highest standards of financial stewardship and the economic, efficient and effective use of their resources. The Commission has four main responsibilities:
• securing the external audit, including the audit of Best Value and Community Planning
• following up issues of concern identified through the audit, to ensure satisfactory resolutions
• carrying out national performance studies to improve economy, efficiency and effectiveness in local government
• issuing an annual direction to local authorities which sets out the range of performance information they are required to publish.
The Commission secures the audit of 32 councils and 41 joint boards (including police and fire and rescue services). Local authorities spend over £19 billion of public funds a year.
Audit Scotland is a statutory body set up in April 2000 under the Public Finance and Accountability (Scotland) Act 2000. It provides services to the Auditor General for Scotland and the Accounts Commission. Together they ensure that the Scottish Government and public sector bodies in Scotland are held to account for the proper, efficient and effective use of public funds. Detailed condition, suitability and property cost information
Introduction
Audit Scotland has undertaken a national study of asset management on behalf of the Accounts Commission. The full report is available on our website, and presents a national overview of councils' asset management rearrangements. Some of the data generated by the study was too detailed for inclusion in the main report; we are making it available here as this will provide useful detail for practitioners, and may also be of wider general interest.
The following charts provide information about the condition and suitability of council buildings and their property costs. While this was summarised in our main report to show the picture across Scotland in relation to all council properties, we have broken it down here to show this information for each of the main building types. Background information on the study, and further information about each of the condition and suitability categories, can be found within the full Asset management and local government study on our website.
